A familiar face on Good Morning America has revealed a deeply personal cancer battle at just 34 years old.
ABC News correspondent Will Reeve says he was diagnosed with testicular cancer this spring, only months after marrying his wife, Amanda Dubin.
Reeve told viewers that he is now doing well after two surgeries, two cycles of chemotherapy, and clean scans in September. But his road there began with one small warning sign that he nearly dismissed.
Current reporting summarized the diagnosis and the path that followed:

The ordeal began in April when Reeve noticed a hard, tender lump in his left testicle. He assumed it would go away, but his wife urged him to have it examined.
An ultrasound revealed a mass, and doctors performed an orchiectomy in early May. Testing showed embryonal carcinoma, an aggressive form of testicular cancer.
The Good Morning America account reports that Reeve then underwent a second operation in June to remove dozens of abdominal lymph nodes. When several of those nodes tested positive for cancer, he chose two rounds of chemotherapy to drive the risk of recurrence down as far as possible.
That treatment was punishing. Reeve dealt with bone pain, ringing in his ears, night sweats, blood clots, and headaches during the weeks between his chemotherapy sessions.
He also used cold capping in an effort to keep his hair. For Reeve, that carried an especially emotional weight: his mother, Dana Reeve, lost her hair during cancer treatment before dying of lung cancer at 44.
The good news is that Reeve finished treatment at the end of July and returned to work after clean scans in early September:

Reeve’s wife played a decisive role at the very beginning. Her simple question—what if the lump was something serious?—pushed him to stop waiting and make the appointment.
That moment is now a major part of the message he wants other men to hear:

Reeve said the experience also gave him a new understanding of the marriage his parents shared. After Christopher Reeve was paralyzed in a 1995 horseback-riding accident, Dana became his devoted caregiver through the final nine years of his life.
Will and Amanda married in January. Just a few months later, they were suddenly confronting surgeries, chemotherapy, fertility decisions, and the fear that comes with a cancer diagnosis.
The couple took steps to preserve their ability to have children, and Reeve says they remain hopeful about becoming parents.
He is now sharing his story because early attention made an enormous difference in his own case. The warning sign was easy to brush aside.
Listening to his wife and getting it checked gave him the chance to act before the disease advanced further.
At 34, newly married, back at work, and with clean scans behind him, Reeve says cancer is now in the rearview mirror.
